kv_attn 26.00 KiB fp8 pages at 607,740 tokens (identical to the w4dn8
boot), slab 17,610/17,658 slots per rank (above w4dn8's 17,548 — ten
bf16-protected experts per layer pack more of the 4-bit table), sampler
9 rows, MTP 2/step, KV lending 4.22 GiB, prefix tier recovered 900,176
blocks across the payload swap. Vision probe green (reasoning read the
solid-red PNG; empty content at 64 tokens = the thinking-budget law).
e2e gate RED on three dankclaw specs: Marreta was down since the 01:41
dankclaw reboot (marreta-browser dependency-failed at boot beside
gluetun, not re-armed); pair restarted manually, redeploy rerunning

+| --- | --- |
+| Routed experts | 4-bit codes into a 16-level **non-uniform** codebook after a 128-point Walsh–Hadamard rotation, one E4M3 scale per 64 weights; codes by GPTQ (10M-token calibration, per-expert down-proj Hessians) + 3 coordinate-descent sweeps |
+| Protected experts | **ten** per layer, whole-expert bf16 (down-projection energy) |
+| Trunk + lm_head | int8 W8A8, scale per 128 columns searched; HC mixtures E4M3 |
+| PLE n-gram | fp8 fixed-scale, in-container (served `--ngram-placement ram`, same 47.7 GiB pin law) |
+| Speculator | the model's own MTP head (card default depth 3; served at 2) |
+| Vision | bf16 vision tower, in-container |
+
+**Base model: the OFFICIAL (censored) Qwen3.8-Flash-Next** — the fleet's
+only frontier model at base alignment; the abliterated family lives on
+frank-dragoon. Card quality: full-vocab teacher-forced KL vs bf16 over
+~75K positions — mean 0.0789 all-tokens / 0.0239 assistant turns, top-1
+agreement 92.85 %.
+
+## Why this swap
+
+- **Publisher-graded precision**: the w4nl codebook + coordinate-descent
+  refinement is the engine author's own quality ceiling for this
+  checkpoint; the card's KL ladder (p99 1.65, p99.9 5.33) is published and
+  reproducible, where our w4dn8 gate measured against our own reference.
+- **Formal parity**: the served file is the one the engine author supports
+  — decode/prefill behavior on 1.0.13 is their tested path (the card's run
+  line speaks the 1.0.13-era flags; the `--vram-weights-mib`/`--vram-kv-mib`
+  pair we ship is accepted by pin 1.0.13 per the 2026-10-06 A/B, so the
+  shape needed no translation).
+- **Cost**: the Swift1.5 finetune's refusal-bending behavior leaves this
+  endpoint (it returns to the official base alignment); the 4-slot/200k
+  economics and all shape laws carry over unchanged.
+
+## Shape (unchanged from 2026-10-13)
+
+All of it, verbatim — the payload moved 116,416 → 116,322 MiB, inside the
+same budget:
+
+- `--tp 2 --tp-wire wht6`, `--max-num-seqs 3`, `--max-model-len 200000`
+  (capacity contract 3 × 200,000), `--kv-cache-dtype fp8`
+- `--placement expert_tiered --host-pool-mib 44928` + explicit
+  `--vram-weights-mib 25600 --vram-kv-mib 5120` (30,720 of the engine's
+  30,969 MiB ceiling; pool = contract + 1.3 %)
+- `--num-speculative-tokens 2`, `--max-num-batched-tokens 2048`
+  (MNBT 2048 law), prefix cache 8 GiB host + 64 GiB disk,
+  `--ngram-placement ram`, froggeric v22.5 `--override-chat-template`
+- TTM preflight floor 150,000 / target 204,800 MiB; pinned ledger
+  2 × 44 GiB pool + 47.7 GiB PLE + 8 GiB prefix ≈ 147 GiB (see
+  [[frank-archon-radiance-swift15-w4dn8]] for the ledger arithmetic and
+  the KV dtype law — both are engine properties, payload-independent)
+
+The publisher's card run line (`--host-pool-mib 12288`,
+`--expert-vs-cache-ratio 0.82`, seqs 8, spec 3, ~32 GB host RAM) is their
+shape on stock 32 GB cards; the fleet ships its own measured shape against
+the same file.
+
+## Cutover record — 2026-10-15
+
+1. `rm` (Frank's one-time authorization): the raw
+   `ukisai/Swift1.5-Qwen3.8-Flash-Next` BF16 checkpoint (336 GiB, spent
+   conversion source) and `qwen4exp-fp8-native.rad` (173 GiB, two eras
+   back) left `/home/dank/models` — 150 GB free → 658 GB free. The fp8-native
+   payload is **no longer on disk**: rebuild =
+   `scripts/download-frank-archon.sh` + `scripts/build-frank-archon-rad.sh`.
+2. Fetch: `scripts/download-frank-archon-iq4r.sh --fetch` as transient unit
+   `iq4r-fetch` (detached-job protocol; log
+   `/home/dank/logs/iq4r-fetch.log`, rc sentinel `…rc`).
+3. Deploy: `scripts/deploy.sh dankserver --service frank-archon` — launched
+   detached (the swap restarts the very endpoint the operator session runs
+   on; the harness timeout catches the session on return).
+4. **Boot ledger (2026-10-15, first boot, pin 1.0.13 — the w4nl codebook
+   loaded, no pin bump)**: `kv_attn` fp8 page **26.00 KiB** at **607,740
+   tokens** (151,935 blocks = 3.77 GiB) — byte-identical to the w4dn8 boot,
+   the sizing law carries; `kv_qsa_bkey` 3.25 KiB at the same token count;
+   `kv_gdn_state` 54 MiB × 6 slots, `kv_gdn_conv` 1.76 MiB × 3,
+   `kv_qsa_tail` 19.5 KiB × 6; pool **5.00 GiB**, prefix checkpoints 8 ×
+   56 MiB; the sizing line reads `kv cache 5.00 GiB … backs 3 sequences all
+   at 200000 tokens at once, which is the worst case`; samplers print **9
+   rows** per rank (3 × (1+2), inside the wht6 25-row bound);
+   `speculation: 'mtp' drafts 2 token(s) a step in 2 serial pass(es)` +
+   prompt-lookup fallback; slab **17,610 (rank0) / 17,658 (rank1) slots**
+   (64 shadow) — above the w4dn8 record of 17,548 (ten bf16-protected
+   experts per layer replace twenty-four, so more of the 4-bit table
+   resides), pinned pool 7,532/7,484 slots; KV lending **4.22 GiB**
+   (3,571/3,568 mover slots); arenas 896.02/988.17 MiB charged before the
+   pair split; prefix cache RECOVERED 900,176 blocks + 126 checkpoint slots
+   from the 64 GiB disk tier (same arch + tokenizer as w4dn8 — the tier
+   survived the payload swap); froggeric template 28,234 B; vision encoder
+   live (≤ 4,194,304 px, 16,384 patches/pass). Health gate passed in ~100 s
+   (radiance binds the port after the full load).
+5. **Vision probe (2026-10-15)**: 300 px solid-red PNG via `image_url` —
+   reasoning stream: "a solid fill of a deep, saturated red hue". Content
+   came back EMPTY at `max_tokens 64`: the thinking budget consumed all 64
+   (`reasoning_tokens: 64`, finish `length`) — fleet law, probe thinking
+   models with ≥ a few hundred tokens.
+6. **e2e gate**: deploy exited DEPLOY INCOMPLETE — 30/33 Playwright green,
+   3 red (`12-crawl`, `13-sso` search SSO, `16-marreta`) on DANKCLAW
+   surfaces (vhosts intermittently returned `ERR_CONNECTION_RESET` from the
+   workstation); frank-archon's own health gate passed. The swap touched no
+   dankclaw runtime file (only homepage services.json text). Census of the
+   Caddy/auth stack pending; see `log.md`.
+7. **Post-boot measurements (pending)**: decode ladder (99.0 t/s single
+   @ 43.5k, 93.3 @ 197k, 3-way 113.9/43.3/10.9 = 18.4 t/s aggregate —
+   these are the **w4dn8** numbers, the record to beat, not this file's),
+   slab-limited prefill (22208/3,397 → 25600/3,584 t/s A-cold 43.5k), draft

+  card KL 0.0789 / top-1 92.85 %) — **no other argument changes**, mindful
+  the operator session runs on the endpoint being swapped.
+- Disk: Frank authorized one `rm` — the spent Swift1.5 BF16 source (336 GiB)
+  and the two-era-old `qwen4exp-fp8-native.rad` (173 GiB) left
+  `/home/dank/models`; 150 GB → 658 GB free. fp8-native is now rebuild-only
+  (fetch + build scripts); rollback for THIS swap is the w4dn8 `.rad`
+  (on disk) by reverting the commit.
+- Fetch: new `scripts/download-frank-archon-iq4r.sh` (hfget, exact bytes
+  121,969,901,568 + Hub LFS sha256, `--verify-only` default) as transient
+  unit `iq4r-fetch`; verified, staged sidecar files kept as provenance.
+- Shape carried VERBATIM (25600/5120 pair, 44928 pool, fp8 KV 3 × 200,000,
+  MTP 2, wht6, MNBT 2048, froggeric v22.5). Tests re-keyed

+- Cutover self-severed by design (detached `deploy.sh` survived the session
+  death when frank-archon restarted); engine healthy in ~100 s. First-boot
+  ledger: w4nl loads on pin 1.0.13 (no pin bump); kv_attn 26.00 KiB fp8 @
+  607,740 tokens (identical geometry); slab 17,610/17,658 slots per rank
+  (> w4dn8's 17,548 — fewer bf16-protected experts pack more 4-bit table);
+  sampler 9 rows; MTP 2/step; prefix tier RECOVERED 900,176 blocks across
+  the swap (arch+tokenizer unchanged). Vision probe green (reasoning read
+  the solid-red PNG; the 64-token budget went all to thinking — fleet law).
+- e2e gate went red on three dankclaw specs — NOT the swap: dankclaw rebooted
+  01:41 and the gluetun boot-race dependency-failed `searxng`, `marreta`,
+  and `marreta-browser` (jobs consumed while gluetun's start job retried;
+  `Restart=always` never armed because the services never ran). Cascade
+  restarted; skill codified (`gluetun-dependent-boot-race-recovery`).
+  Gate rerunning against the repaired fleet; frank-archon's own health gate
+  passed every deploy. Open: decode/prefill ladders vs the w4dn8 record,
+  probe leg D — scheduled probe window.
+
+## 2026-10-15 — authentik: two more human accounts (Dankclaw)
+- **Live — mitch (pk 22) and eric (pk 23) provisioned via `ak shell` ORM, no
+  repo objects.** Each `<user>@franksdank.cloud` in the human-user template
+  shape (`is_active=True`, display name, password via `set_password` on stdin
+  only — never argv, so nothing lands in `ps`), groups `Non-Admin Users` +
+  `jellyfin_users` + `openwebui_users`; no admin group granted. Verified
+  through the exact PasswordStage code path (`authenticate()` accepted each
+  password and rejected a wrong one), `app_entitlements(open-webui)` →
+  `Open WebUI Users` for both (identical to the ridley precedent), and
+  `is_superuser=False` / `path=users`. Zero `proxysession` rows for either —
+  groups were set before any login, so no claim purge was due. Downstream:
+  Jellyfin visibility rides the LDAP outpost cache (expect lag); OpenWebUI
+  mints their accounts as role `pending` on first login.
+- `/serverAppConfigs-docs/Infrastructure/Authentik.md` — human-user template
